Man shot, killed in Otay Mesa apartment

OTAY MESA  San Diego police homicide detectives are investigating the death of a man who was found fatally wounded Thursday in his Otay Mesa apartment.

The victim’s brother called 911 at 4:20 p.m. to report a shooting at the residence on Caminito Quixote, near Picador Boulevard, police homicide Lt. Jorge Duran said.

Officers found a man on the kitchen floor of the second-floor apartment suffering from at least one gunshot wound, Duran said. Officers performed CPR until paramedics arrived, but the man died at the scene, the lieutenant said.

The victim’s name was not yet released, but Duran said he was in his late 20s and lived at the apartment with his brother and their mother. She was not home at the time.

The brother told police he was in another room when he heard the shooting. The victim and several other people were in the apartment at the time, Duran said.

Several hours after the shooting, neighbors still stood outside and watched as police continued their investigation behind yellow crime tape. Some were arriving home from work. All said they did not know the victim.
